Mobility fund: pair of hearing aids for Yash in Coimbatore
Yash needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $950.
🇮🇳 India973 views
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Coimbatore Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $950.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $950 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $830
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $50
Every share and every dollar helps.
